Will my speech be affected if I undergo Botox treatment on my masseter muscles?

I’m planning to undergo 3 Botox treatments to reduce my enlarged masseter on the right. Each botox session will be administered 2 months apart, thus lasting about 5 to 6 months. Will it affect my work as a phone operator? Will it affect my speech?
Thanks Jacob K for answering. However, I’m worried that it might affect my articulation of words as jaw movements are also a part of moving the lips. Will my left jaw be able to compensate?

You should consult with your cosmetic specialist or doctor that will be performing the botox. I say you look for the best botox professional and not risk your health and face! http://www.smoothmed.com is very reliable and offers the best botox around.

How much does the NHS spend on cosmetic surgery?

Dear All.

I am currently doing a research project on NHS funding for cosmetic surgery.
I am wondering if anyone can direct me into the right direction of research.

I need to research the following:
NHS budget
Cost of cosmetic surgery on the NHS each year
General figures

I only am in need of a directional route towards such research area.
I would be very grateful if anyone has any sites or books they know of to help me.

I have already contacted Department of Health
Thanks and regards
Luke

I work for the Southampton Universities Hospitals Trust. You can freely look on our website and find some info on there in how much we spend on cosmetic surgury.

what would make a health bootcamp fun/interesting for you?

Later on in the 2011 bracket. A professional Health Clinic near Nashville Tennessee is going to be holding an Anti-aging Health Boot camp
So far our idea is new so we are very open to your idea’s on what will make this health seminar of 2-3days more interesting to you as a consumer.

Please let us know what your ideah’s are, we would love to hear from you.
There is going to be sections focusing on diet, exercise, ect.
As part of making it more interesting we are thinking of bringing in a catered meal that u can either learn to make or make yourselves and skin care products.

Great idea. I’ve been looking for a health spa in the Middle TN area where you could learn exercise programs and they would provide healthy meals. Maybe hold your camp at a B&B.

Nutrition should be a prime component. Maybe a make-it-yourself where all the ingredients are provided and you assemble your own cooking-bag or roasting pan. Provide recipe cards to take home. Or a recipe book.

One-on-one with a trainer would be good because everyone has different goals, needs, and preexisting conditions. Provide a written exercise plan designed just for the individual.

How about a Q&A session with a doctor or a panel of doctors.

What fad diet does these things to your body?

I would like to do a fad diet before my real diet. "WHY" you ask? Well because i do and because school starts soon, so if i can get the weight off first then worrie about keeping it off later then im ok with that. I do not want to do the lemonaid diet or whatever that thing is.

I want a fad diet that will let me lose 30lb in 2-3 weeks, and that will help my skin become clear and healthy. And clear bacteria out of my body. What fad diet does this?

Meals:
Breakfast: A fist full of fruit.
Lunch: Salad with Balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing.
Dinner: A fist full of Baked salmon with vegetables.
Only drink water throughout the day, and if you feel the need for a snack, Suck on ice instead. Don’t eat more than a fist full at meal times.

Exercise:
Do squats, sit ups, lunges, and push ups for at least an hour a day.

Is it odd for me to wanna sleep naked, being a 15 year old girl?

I watched a movie once and a girl around my age was sleeping naked everynight, so once I tried it. I really enjoyed it, but I opened up and told my friend and she said that was just plain wierd and disgusting…

Sleeping nude is both normal and natural, besides more comfortable.
People have a hang up with nudity and just think it is wrong. If God want us to be naked we would have been made that way.

sleep thing and enjoy the relaxing freedom.

Is it possible to reduce masseter muscles without using botox?

ive been searching around the internet and all i seem to get is botox which im not a big fan of.. is there perhaps something more natural, like some kind of massage?
thanks!

Scared to go for Botox. I will congratulate you for that u sensible girl!

Botox is not a permanent wrinkle remover, Once it fads then another treatment is needed. Better to save your cash and your health, don’t get Botox injections.

Want really quick results then use quality botox cream or anti aging cream.LifeCell and Revitol are two botox creams that are regarded quite highly.

But good to hear you seek for natural results so let me suggest you a combination of exercise eating healthy, use AHA and Collagen, and avoid Bad Habits. Walking and Talking is one of the easiest forms of exercise.
Eat 50% of all the food should be vegetables or fruit. Avoid white flour, white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, soda, donuts, and fast food are terrible for your complexion and make you look older than you are.

Use daily alpha hydroxy lotion on your skin. Alpha hydroxy based lotions and Collagen creams are the only ones proven scientifically to reduce wrinkles.

Eliminate smoking, heavy drinking and illegal drugs from your life.

Rewrite the Following Paragraph in your own words.?

This is a paragraph about Anti Aging.

Aging is inevitable and this is a fact that only few can accept without the feeling of sadness and dismay. We all desire to be forever young and beautiful. Fortunately, there are several effective anti aging treatments that can eliminate or conceal signs of aging and bring back hope and joy in our life. One of the best and most natural anti aging treatments is exercising. Regular exercises improve blood circulation and strengthen your immune system. Just half an hour of daily exercise will have a positive effect on your general health, make your skin smooth and elastic and prevent signs of premature aging. Botulinum is an effective anti aging skincare product. Initially it was used to treat muscle spasm. When applied it paralyses muscles that trigger repetitive facial motions like frowning and smiling. Thus, botulinum is a great option for erasing frown, forehead and neck lines.

Everyone wishes that they could live forever young, but aging is inevitable. Luckily, there are treatments that can effectively fight, and even reverse the visible signs of aging. Exercise is one of the most effective; exercise speeds up the heart, improving blood circulation to the skin and face. Frequent exercise improves general health, and makes the skin appear smoother and more young. Aside from routines, skincare products such as Botulinum (originally used to fight muscle spasms) can effectively paralyze the muscles that cause frown, forehead, and neck lines.

i wear so much eyeliner becouse im inscure i worry when we get older and im 24 and shes 20 ill be like the old one and she will steal all my boyfriends ?
wha am i silly for feeling this
i mean im never mean to my sister im allways nice give her tips on what would look nice and tell her her hair looks good becous i dont let jelousy get inbettwen us we are like best friends
but i just feel ugly when shes next to me !
help ? what can i do to feel better

Both of you girls are absolutely gorgeous, so you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.
If you guys are like best friends, then when you get older she will not be stealing your boyfriends.
You’re sixteen, you’re still going to grow and change and so will she.
If you feel insecure, trying doing different things. Wear less makeup, wear different makeup, so different things with your hair, sample clothing styles, ect..

Oh and you may have put this in the wrong section, but don’t listen to user such as Marty who feel the need to flame and attack you for such a small mistake. You feel insecure about something and deserve an answer just like anyone else, and you aren’t shallow.

I have tried to sleep for like five and a half hours :L?? x?

I don’t know why I can’t sleep because I got up at 10am (as usual) and I usually can’t get to sleep in the hot weather but I sleep in my underwear. I am the kind of person who will sleep for ages and I can usually get to sleep. I don’t know if this will affect things but I am thirteen. (Don’t know if you need that info XD). I am very calm too so it can’t be stress and I haven’t had a hot drink like coffee in about nine hours. Can someone help me with ways I can sleep??
Thanks xx

try unisom sleep melts or benadryl. that will help make you drowsy.
